Is Langer's Delicatessen worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Langer's Delicatessen still earns its price.

Affordable / moderate

Old-school, no-nonsense and proud of one thing it does better than almost anywhere: the pastrami. A daytime LA institution, though the surrounding MacArthur Park area and limited hours need planning.
